God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons and for days and for years..." And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness.

This design, based on the familiar structure of our own solar system, is meant to suggest the awesome variety and structure of the universe as a whole. Whether all the tiny lights are asteroids, the Milky Way, Andromeda, or Meisser 42, the majesty of the heavenly bodies overwhelms us.
